Catalogue of record cars produced by Bizarre and Spark
The pages below are reproduced from a newsletter that we published some years ago with a view to arousing interest in upcoming models that we intended to produce.
Catalogue of all record cars produced under Bizarre and Spark brands along with those made in the group’s factories for other brands including Abarth, DIP, Porsche, Rigby-Shinton Models and TSM
Bizarre and Spark have between them produced about 66 Land Speed Record cars including many absolute World Land Speed Record holders, as well as a variety of class record holders.
Bizarre, as a brand, was originally founded by Fernando Pinto before being bought by Minimax which is the company, founded by Hugo Ripert that owns Spark Models. Bizarre models were all made in the same factory as Spark models.
In addition Minimax also used its factory in China to produce models for other brands including DIP Models and TSM as well as Porsche, the car manufacturer.
As someone who has been collecting LSR models for over sixty years, I have been particularly lucky to have been involved in the choice and production process of many of these models.
